I've been thinking of playing a space game ever since I saw Star Citizen. I wanted to try out the alpha, but I'm not sure how to get into it. I've heard of the arena thing, but I don't know exactly what that is or what to do in that. I see there's alpha 2.0 and purchasing the arena pack gets in there or so it says; at least the arena part. Then there's Elite Dangerous. The game is complete but comparing between ships I like Star Citizen better especially the fps aspect of it sounds cool.

I guess what I'm getting at is if I were to decide to purchase one of them. Which I should choose?
